About

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable, maintainable web platforms across a wide range of industries. Proficient across the full stack – from Java/Spring Boot microservices with Domain-Driven Design and PHP/Laravel on the backend to React, Vue, and Angular on the frontend, with solid DevOps practices including Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker. With an academic background in Virtual Power Plants, Crowdsourcing and hands-on research experience in energy systems, I bring both technical depth and domain understanding to data-driven platforms. Long-term engagements with clients such as the German Federal Government (BKA Polizei 20/20), ImmoScout24, and Brother International reflect my ability to deliver complex, enterprise-grade solutions reliably over time. I value clean architecture, technology-agnostic thinking, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams to build products that truly make an impact.
